Last January we adopted two puppies, nearly identical when puppies, and still pretty similar now they are nearing 8 months old. I call them Thing 1 and Thing 2, but their real names are Inky and Smudge, last name of Pott.
One of my first pictures taken with my new camera, a Nikon Df. This was shot using a 50mm f1.8G lens at iso 1250, f4.0, 1/125. Cropped a bit to make it more interesting.
I love puppies and new toys!
14 years old, cute as a bug!

It has been a hard week. Seven days ago, our golden retriever, Pooka, had to be put to sleep. He was six years old, and had lymphoma. The decision to put him asleep was not hard, but the fact is, I miss him a lot.
Here are some puppy pictures.
Here he is, a few days before his last.
This has been a rather dismal week.
There are just times when life’s external events pile up, and become Issues.
The budget crisis locally, statewide, and nationally is producing delayed effects, especially for those employed in the public sector.
Yours truly is one.
And, now, with the new fiscal year, the ones spared so far are looking ahead with consternation.
The city of Los Angeles, looking to save money, is auditing phones, to see if they are connected or not. 8000 phones never ring, are not used, and the potential annual savings is nearly three million bucks, if other phones are found not working. Tax dollars at work.
How many jobs could be saved, would have been saved, if this had not occurred?
Life goes on, despite or inspite of it all. Coming home to wagging tails is always a pleasure! This guy certainly makes the day brighter! And looking at the junk on my desk, I had a good laugh over this.
Off to work!
I’ll check my phone, too.
